## **Career Stats**

Brookes started his career with Warwickshire, making his red-ball debut against Essex in 2017, featuring in 33 FC matches before making the move to Middlesex in 2023, taking 33 FC wickets in 14 matches.

The 26-y-o will be available for selection for the Durham game, starting tomorrow, as well as fixtures against Lancashire, Northamptonshire and both home and away fixtures with Kent.

## **“Talented young fast bowler”**

Gloucestershire’s Director of Cricket Jon Lewis said *“We’re really pleased to bring Henry in on loan. Before the start of the season, we spoke a lot about using the loan market to supplement the bowlers we already have and help us through a busy Championship period. Henry will be with us until the start of the Vitality Blast, and we’re delighted to have him on board.*

*“I’ve known Henry for a long time. He’s an incredibly talented young fast bowler who I’ve worked with at England Under-19s and England Lions level. Just as importantly, we know we’re getting a top person as well as a top player, which matters a lot to us as a group. We’re excited to see what he can add to the squad.”*
